Answer:
5x -7y = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
A sketch can convince you that BC is a transversal perpendicular to parallel lines AB and CD. The question asks for an equation for CD, so we just need to write the equation of a line through D that is parallel to AB.
One way to do this is to equate the slopes of the parallel lines:
∆y/∆x for AB = ∆y/∆x for CD
(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (y -2)/(x -7) . . . . . . where (x1, y1) = A; (x2, y2) = B; (7, 2) = D
(4 -(-1))/(1 -(-6)) = (y -2)/(x -7)
5(x -7) = 7(y -2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . cross multiply
5x -7y = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 35 -7y, simplify
_____
Note that the graph shows the line CD is named "b", and its equation is shown at upper left. Multiplying that equation by -1 gives the one shown here.
False it can work with non right angles triangles too
The answer should be D since after 5 am to 7 am only two hours have passed so x=2, and then you plug in the x as 2 and solve it. You might get not around answer like 39.785 but when you round it, it would be 40.
4x+7=35
4x=28
x=7
A corresponding solution of the matching equation is a fancier way of telling you to find the number that represents x
